The White House announced this month that from 2007 until 2016, nearly 30,000 people from countries the State Department has designated “State Sponsors of Terrorism” received the green light to come stay in the United States through the much-maligned Visa Lottery program.

“In the last decade, the U.S. issued nearly 30,000 permanent residence visas through the Visa Lottery to randomly selected nationals from countries designated as ‘State Sponsors of Terrorism’ by the State Department,” said the White House in an email. “This does not include the additional tens of thousands of foreign nationals admitted from these countries through other immigration categories (such as family-based immigration, as well as asylee, refugee, and others).”

The three countries were Syria, Sudan, and Iran.

The subject of these visa lotteries, considered a boon for the country’s supposedly-important diversity quotient, has been a controversial one – never more so than after it was revealed that Sayfullo Saipov, the terrorist who killed eight people in New York City on October 31, came to the United States under that very program. Since then, President Trump and many Republicans have vowed to bring an end to the program and the chain migration that turns thousands of immigrants into hundreds of thousands within just a few years.

“President Trump has called on Congress to eliminate the Visa Lottery and end Chain Migration,” the White House said. “These policies endanger national security, strain federal resources, and imperil the economic security of vulnerable American workers.

“Every single year, through a computer-generated random drawing, the Visa Lottery selects 50,000 foreign nationals to apply for permanent residence in the United States and get Green Cards,” the email continued. “Many of them have absolutely no ties to the United States, no special skills, and limited education.”

There are strong arguments for bringing immigration of all kinds to a pause for a few years so our country has a chance to assimilate the millions of people who have arrived over the last couple of decades. But while that type of solution is likely to face stiff challenges on Capitol Hill, there is no excuse for bringing people here…just because. We need a merit-based immigration system that no longer plucks people out of their home countries – many of them terrorist havens – simply because some politician decided we need more Uzbeks or Iranians or Sudanese in the United States. If we need people at all, we need them to be people who can actually contribute something positive to this nation.

…….and how many hoops did those folk jump through to get the visa. Quite normal process. Are all Muslims part of ISIS? No, less than 1%. Are all Americans part of the KKK? No – less than 1%. Duh!

I am not sticking up for the KKK BUT how many mass murders have they done in the last 10 years?? Does San Bernardino shootings, and the gay bar in Florida ring a bell?? Coming to a town near you!!

Kurt Hanssen

KKK . has newer partisipated in any mass shootings,ever nor did they ever shoot a police offisers They hung blacks that had raped white girls (women) They hated the Jews, maybe they knew somthing that we diden’t know back then, like the Israeli Zions, concist 92%. the Rockefellers, J.P.Morgan, Goldman Saks, Carnegie, the Rotchilds Etc. This was the people that ran this country than, and now, They also ran Germany and everything in it, They inifilated the prices on ewerything including food so the Germans was starving to deth. The G-Mark became worthless paper until Hitler took over, than it became the most sought after curency in the world, The Germans Loved Hitler for turning their country 360. Look at movies from Germany from the mid 30’s to before the WWII. Hitler took Germany back from the Zions and the Iluminati.

mrpoohead

Technically not even close to Hitler or Serbs in Bosnia, nor the Rwandan genocide.
My point was actually that few Muslims represent ISIS, the same I trust can be said about America’s and the KKK. Thus after checks entry should be allowed. Should we be banned for giving the planet two depressions?

rocky49

So then climate change is no big deal to you and ruining the ozone layer is okay. GOOD to hear!!

mrpoohead

Are you suggesting that ISIS or Muslims have something to do with climate change? Seems a tad unfair, unlikely too as their diet is fresh home-cooked food as opposed to the garbage most Americans eat. We have more fatties and I suspect produce more methane.

Climate change – neither side has a winning argument, gaping holes in both. I sit on the fence, go with facts not “belief” – would be pleased with lower pollution but then I did live in LA in the 80’s and spent time in China in the 90’s. From a pragmatic point of view moving away from fossil fuels makes sense – it’s going to run out and better now than last minute.

Yo Adrienne, you’re a fukwit!

gotabgood

Trump warns that ‘people will die’ unless the Russian investigation, and sanctions, are dropped
Does that sound like the President of the United States is threatening the people of US to you also???????

gotabgood

Some of you have to care about what is going on. Sometimes to understand a position we take, we have to look where we came from. I know probably most of you do don’t like Rachel Maddow, but if you watch 5 minutes I guarantee you’ll watch the rest of it. The first part of it is missing, it is about typing lessons in school, using the old type writer, interesting especially when it gets to the “ball” type.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj8iINphOnI

Islam is the personal army of Satan, Allah is Satan. That is the ugly truth. We can always take solace in the fact that we know who wins in the end. I am still on the fence as to whether or not Obama is the Antichrist.

dk1xley

God will win!

Donald Lindsey

There are many Muslims like the African American that are kind and descent people, the others are just racist radicals plain rotten apples in the basket that need to be separated from the rest and removed.

Why did so few people see this, it was all there right in the front of our eyes all the time, but to many is watching and beliving the very fake media. Nobummer got 35. ISIS training camps in 15 States, this is his private army, paid for by the BILLIONS he gave to Iran, Valerie Jarret is his Iranian Spy and General. This is all out there right in the front of everybodys nose, all they got to do is just open their eyes.

Beeotchstewie the deplorable

Obama is just biding his time until he can personally issue the national call to jihad from his command center two blocks away from the White House. Just has to get final approval from Soros first.

Askjrsk

Consficate the guns first.

pappy450

From whom, might I ask? LAW-ABIDING citizens, so SOROS, HITLERY, OSCUMBAG and their “minions” can overthrow and “take over”? The 2nd amendment is NOT about hunting, it is about PROTECTING your self against a CORRUPT TYRANNICAL “government” (or in THIS case a “deep state” MOOSLIME operation.)

Askjrsk

That’s their plan. Ain’t gonna work out for them. We the people are smarter than they thought. We fight back. They turn every catastrophe into a political statement to attempt take our guns from us what they call the betterment of America, propaganda .
We need guns to send the 30,000 terrorist diversion lottery Obams special guests back to where they came from. Then we need our guns to EXECUTE OBAMA and his fourth reich.

That is what bathers me, he is way to close to the WH., There is tunnels under the WH, and NObummer got keys to all the gates all he got to do is get El Chapos tunnel diggers to go to work and he will be in the WH in no time. Nobummer did EL Chapo a favor by selling him AK-47’s. “Fast and furious” together with Killary and Holder. One favor deserves another.

Tom Steyer is a much bigger danger than Soros , we need reporting on this evil little Fascist

Actually it started under Carter during the overthrow of the Shah in Iran. How did you think Jarrett et al GOT here, to be in such high positions?

I started trying to tell people right after he started his campaign to run for President in 2007. You could see that he was a TRAITOR before he was ever elected to the Senate. Everything about this piece of human waste is a LIE from his fake birth certificate to his fake Social Security Card and every part of what little we were allowed to know about him. He wasn’t rescuing refugees from war torn Countries but importing his own personal Radical Muslim Army for his plan to Destroy America from within. One only has to look at his first act as President of the Country when he issued an Executive Order violating the Constitution and his oath of office. His first act was the first of countless ACTS OF TREASON he committed through his eights years in office. The largest FRAUD ever inflicted upon the American People ever.

Kurt Hanssen

When Barry Soetoro was able to travel to Afgahanistan where no one with an American passport was alloved to travel, and he was arrested upon his return for posession of heroine by the US customs in NY. (Kenedy airport) When he start to run for office, he had to change his name, (he did that in Canada) because no one with an arrest record can run for office, the problem here is, he took a Muslim name.?? And why was he here on a student VISA. He has used 4. diferent names, got 5. diferent SS. Nombers, and a very fake birth certificate, Both grand mothers testefyed to the fackt that he was born in Mombasa Kenya, even the hospital werefied that, He was an all around fake. Since I’m not from this neck of the woods hope you forgive my spelling errors.

Exactly!! We should be vetting EVERY person wanting to emigrate to the U.S. They CANNOT argue with the facts… it’s all there in very obvious black and white… these people that the Democraps want to come in and vote for them are seriously NON-Americans and will only harm “someone else.” I wonder how fast they would change their tune if one of their own family was brutally raped and murdered, or tortured, or blown to smithereens by one of those evil pukes?

If this is true, it is time to herd them up, and send them back to where they came from! Send Obama with them as well!

Obama invited 30,000 possible terrorists into the United States, risking our security and safety. Now we have more haters, like him here. Not to assimilate or love and serve our country but to plunder rape murder and destroy us. Obama must be executed and every mandate and executive order of his must be overturned. Consficate all Ibama property as he is an enemy of the state.

I read the other day where Heshelle bought 11 million in furniture 4 yachts and 2 limos. They tried to take it all with them, of course. Trump confiscated it and sent Heshelle a bill for 11 billion dollars for all his overspending. 214 personal assistants, 10 dog walkers and 32 gardeners, like his husband Barry, he spent more than all the other first ladies before him COMBINED.

Askjrsk

Aren’t they rip offs? So disrespectful. Heshelle iscso confused miserable and unpleasant. A linebacker in a dress and lipstick is still ugly, except to Barry.

Don’t get too upset over that story……….Worry about the ones they flew in to Florida from Puerto Rico…….Seem we get a lot of terrorists from there also……….

I suppose I wouldn’t mind visas IF they had a termination date and IF the country kept track of these visas, once they got here. So guess what?Neither happens, so I’m against visas until this get fixed. When I went to Italy, men with weapons, came on the bus and checked our passports. I’d like to see that and more here.

You need to compare the Democrat website with the CPUSA ( Communist Party USA ) website ! That will explain the actions and attitudes of the demoncraps !!

McCain/C. Schummer etc..) aholes!…. who write rules that us serfs must live by and exclude themselves from those same rules!!

We are almost $21 Trillion in debt, and these whores are patting themselves on the back today not because they are reducing spending in any way, but because they are not increasing the insane amounts of money they confiscate already from us working stiffs in the middle class. Enough is Goddam enough!!!!!

I would like to know who was responsible for instituting a lottery program for entrance to our country! we need to know where to lay the blame !!

The New World Order has been funding and forcing countries to import Satanists (Koran is Satan’s counterfeit and antithesis of God’s Bible) to destroy the culture of civilized, constitutional and independent governments. See and study the articles found at the uncensored Danish news-site http://new.euro-med.dk to prove this assertion.
Verify that only a small number of anti-Torah and vehement anti-Bible Zionist (those who converted to “Judaism” (based on distorted version of the Talmud) control nearly all our “too big to fail” and “International” banks.

Obie Miller

Entry into America MUST NOT be done by a “lottery”! Has anyone else even considered our national security??

Tiger

When we suffer more terror attacks, which Homeland Security assures us we will, when those attacks get more frequent and worse, when more blood in the streets or a mall or a school or whatever and the American Sheeple, who are all about PC get enough of it, then and only then will there be mass movements across America, to remove all Muslims who are not legal, to stop all immigration from all Muslim countries. Until then nothing of great impact in all this insanity will be done. They will come, and they will plot, and they will scheme and they will use our laws to get to us.

We are at war, if we are not then they sure fooled us who served in these wars. I thought the wounded I took care of were wounded in a war. I thought the enemy was Islam in some form or another. I thought the video I saw of decapitations, mutilations, executions, hanging, stoning, impaling were all done by those who practice Islam. I thought when the Arabic translators introduced us to the Qur’an and Muhammad that it was about Islam. Wow sure as Hell fooled me.

I think that they believe we are at war, I think they are coming here for a reason and I think they must believe this is the easiest target they ever had. I would never invite someone into my home who had a reputation of practicing a religion that called for killing me. But then that is me silly me.

there were 8 killed by a person who got in on the lottery by driving a rented truck down a bike path. Jersey Barriers were put in place the next day to keep a repeat from happening. The were 58 Killed by a shooter with multiple semiauotmatic rifes converted to fire as automatics; 3 people killed, all Latio, in a WalMart, with many pulling out their concealed carry to join in the chaos but were stopped by the cops ‘Visit WalMart, get in the crossfire, and go to our fire arms department so that you can join in next time”; 29 people killed in church with 13 high capacity magazines found. The problem is that we are doing nothing to fix the major problem of people being killed by firearm. Is the next mass murderer down town, waiting to make it a really Black Friday, or going into the Elementary School the next school day? The home grown mass shooters are more than 1 in 30,000, and that is just so far.
